I REALLY NEED HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!
Which question is best modeled with a division expression?

A. How much does it cost to buy 3 and 1/2 pounds of apples at $2 per pound?

B. How many apples are needed for 2 pies if the recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples per pie?

C. How many more apples are needed if a recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples and you only have 2 apples?

D. How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and 1/2 apples were used to bake 2 pies?

Respuesta :

Choice D, because you would have to divide 3 1/2 by 2 to find the answer

the rest are either subtraction or multiplication

Answer:

Option D  is best modeled with a division expression

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  How much does it cost to buy 3 and 1/2 pounds of apples at $2 per pound?

Cost of 1 pound = $2

Cost of 3 and 1/2 pounds  = [tex]2 \times 3.5[/tex]

B) B. How many apples are needed for 2 pies if the recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples per pie?

1 pie requires 3.5 apples

So, 2 pies requires apples = [tex]3.5 \times 2[/tex]

C)  How many more apples are needed if a recipe uses 3 and 1/2 apples and you only have 2 apples?

Recipe requires 3.5 apples

You have 2 apples

More apples required = 3.5 - 2

D) . How many apples are in each pie if a total of 3 and 1/2 apples were used to bake 2 pies?

Apples required in 2 pies = 3.5

Apples required in 1 pie = [tex]\frac{3.5}{2}[/tex]

Hence Option D  is best modeled with a division expression
